Here's my preview for the Trust. No mention of Harry Lennon in this morning's press conference, but given Robinson's "No-one will be available that wasn’t last week” I assumed he's still out too. Poor guy. First time for ages that none of Bauer, Teixeira or Pearce have been available and he finds himself out too.
Although I want all of our games to end in a win for us, I am getting the feeling that this season is another right off. With all the injuries lately, and players coming back can not be expected to be match fit for at least another few weeks, including Solly, Bauer, Watt, Novak, Holmes. Pearce. Lennon and Josh when they finally return, so it could be the end of February. if not more injuries, before they are fully fit, and that will be too late for a promotion challenge. We can only hope that KR keeps his job and has time to get decent players in during the summer, to go with players we have now and will not need a complete overall, as we have done since RD bought us. I will be happy with a draw Saturday, but extremely happy for a win
Both sides came into the Division as favourites; both sides have lost the same amount of games… This Saturday could be stark proof for Addicks fans for a classic example of… What if!!
Think this is our season in a nutshell. Our defence is as solid as any in the division when we're fully fit.
Yet everyone knew we were short of creative talent before the season started & still everyone knew Roland would refuse to pay the going rate for some decent players who can create chances. Ho hum.

This is the thing though we were never linked with this type of player so far as I was aware (i.e. from the Reports and Rumours)... It was always Louis Thompson that we missed out on who is surely just a younger version of Crofts?
Another chance to kick on will come and go. Watching KR press conference, I think he knows he is looking less likely to make the top 6 as each day passes. We will get one, that will not be enough to win ! So
Really think this game will prove that our season is over for good. Bolton will be too strong for us and a makeshift defence, 3-0 Bolton and we end the day 12 points adrift of the play-offs.
2-1 Charlton, Byrne to pull out a man of the match display, scoring one and setting up the other.
Bristol Rovers beat Swindon at home. Fleetwood and Southend play out a draw. Oldham draw at home with Bradford. Peterborough lose at home to MK Dons. Walsall draw away at Bury.
Finish the day 6 points off the play-offs with a game in hand over most teams above us.

We'll do well to lose this one.

But if Bauer isn't fit and Roger plays, we'll lose.
Injuries and suspensions have messed us up again.
